            Ateneo is not only a starting road to success but also to fitness. Every morning, you need to conquer and force yourself to climb the stairs in order for you to attend your classes. There is no excuse to it, stairs symbolizes the road to success but most of the time stairs are always annoying. But you need to learn to love it. You gotta.

4. Be friendly.

            This is a must. Stop hating other people before missing the chances of meeting amazing personalities. If you think being the talk of the town because of your nasty attitudes and/or being the whistle blower of a certain teenage drama is cool? Well, you have to fix yourself. Ateneo is a community who includes people. We condemn any types of exclusion.

5. Don’t be afraid.

            Learn how to speak and at the same time learn when to speak. Ateneans are very outspoken. We are known because of our voices, we always want to say something and as a student you are expected to be the voice of the voiceless. So kid, like Cinderella’s mother once said “Have courage and be kind.”

6. Don’t waste time.

            This is the best I tip I can share, don’t be the other version of you. Remove your mask, embrace the freedom and be real. Fake it until you make it will never give you the thrill. You will miss all the fun.

            But after all these tips, it is only you who can tell how to survive Ateneo. Whoever you are and what ever you want to be...do it your way and I just want to welcome you to Ateneo Senior High School. 

Many people seem to be too concerned of their body images nowadays because they are getting too caught up with society’s standards and these standards have been causing a variety of effects to the people. These effects are mostly negative and degrading to those who are incapable of making their body image fit the standards of society.

These standards can aid a person in making himself / herself look good, but it is sometimes too much; too much artificiality that people, especially women conform to it in an abusive way. They tend to skip meals or eat meals that aren’t even considered as meals, they inject or drink whatever they can to enlarge or decrease the size of specific parts on their bodies, and they apply too much make-up to make their faces look perfect or flawless.

If you can observe, women nowadays tend to have dark thick brows and they call it, “eyebrows on fleek”. This has become a trend and if you don’t have this type of brows, you’ll end up getting insecure unless you really don’t care or if you have blessed thick brows. Another example would be the “women big breasts and butts are more attractive” issue where people debate that women with smaller breasts and butts are less attractive than women with big ones. Issues like these are getting out of hand for children as young as 9 are already becoming alarmed of their own body image. This is basically the reason why looking “in” has become a requirement to everyone nowadays may you be a child, a teenager, an adult or even an elderly. People tend to be so judgmental and particular when it comes to physical appearances and this generation is composed of these types of people.

They are not aware that these social standards have been one of the major reasons that causes people to have trust issues. People, especially the plus sizes will always think that they are not enough or they are not good looking because they have this type of body image. The ideals of the society are skinny women with large breasts and butts and also muscular men with abs who can flaunt their body without shame.

Such a pity these people are experiencing; they have fooled themselves to do stupid things that they think would make them feel happy and satisfied well in fact they have lead themselves to a situation where they can never be contented with how they look and they have exposed themselves to risks that can endanger their lives.

Body image is our OWN mental perception of our OWN body. It is our OWN body, so why rely on other people’s opinions about it when you know that YOUR body is NOT THEIRS?

The Queen Bey’s (Beyonce) first daughter, Blue Ivy, is no stranger to different High-end brands. At the age of five she is taking her style onto transcendent level and making the crowd go wow as she slays with her mom Beyonce. We’re all familiar with different child’s cutest photograph on the internet, but Blue Ivy is way too far from it, for she is breaking the fashion grounds of the children existing here on earth and even outstrips the adults’ fashion and style on an extraordinary level. 

Looking back from the past years she slayed with her mother, we can remember when she’s three years old and attended the Grammy’s with a Dior dress, this was the first time she is hitting the fashion grounds of her generation, subsequently, she manifested again her fabulousness when she accompanied her mother to VMA’s wearing an intense Mischka Aoki Dress which cost closely to $11,000 (vogue.com) and Giuseppe Zanotti Junior shoes and a tiara. You can never go wrong with Blue Ivy carter wearing a Gucci dress worth $2000. Can you imagine how lucky it is to be Beyonce’s daughter?
